LIVONIA, Mich. – Head women’s soccer coach Paul Thomas announced the signing of Nicole Rodriguez to a letter of intent today. Rodriguez (Woodhaven, Mich./Woodhaven) will enroll at Madonna in the fall and begin her collegiate career with the 2008 season.

“Nicole is a very versatile and creative player and I see her in an attacking mid-field role or up front,” said Thomas. “She scores goals, she creates goals and I think she will be a great addition for us.”

Rodriguez, who has lettered the last three seasons at Woodhaven High School, was named all-conference last season after scoring 14 goals and adding five assists. As a sophomore, she picked up honorable mention all-Downriver honors after scoring 19 goals. She is also a member of the National Honor Society and SADD.

“Nicole has a great personality and her coaches have said great things about her work rate off the field as well as on it. I see her fitting in well with the group we have,” added Thomas.

Madonna finished the 2007 season with an 8-7-2 record and advanced to the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference tournament semi-finals.
